Called the NY consulate today and asked for an update on my visa application, since my flight is soon and their processing time is currently around a month. A staff member told me that even if I don't get approved in time, I can go to Thailand as a tourist and once approved, I can leave the country and re-enter with my visa.

Though I suppose immigration could still turn you away when you try to enter.

Just sharing what they said. Don't shoot the messenger cause some of y'all can be jerks lol

Any Chinese citizens get DTV in Vietnam recently? My wife (Chinese) and I (American) applied for the same Muy Thai DTV 12 hours apart.

We each used our own bank statements and own invitations from the muy thai studio.

Mine was granted Monday and hers still says “Processing Pending Approval”

Hi! I will possibly apply for DTV but when on a side trip from Thailand. I plan to have 45 days in the land, then 2 weeks in Bali. Come back and do another 45 or 50 days (all on visa exempt entries) and have another 2-4 weeks somewhere else. I don't plan on doing it a third time. Just wanted to know which country is the easiest to submit the DTV and if it isn't processed in time can I still enter Thailand while I wait? The other option is we apply through the school my child will attend and therefore won't the DTV but won't know if we are staying more permanently until we have trialled life for at least a few months. The above was the only option I could see working well without spending time and money on visas we may not need. Any advice welcomed. No hate please. Thanks

Hello!

What is the usual ("normal") processing time for DTV? I have been waiting for almost 1 month now. First (almost) 2 weeks the system showed "Pending document check". And now I have seen "Pending approval" for 2 weeks. Is this usual or would it make sense to inquire the consulate about the status?

Has anyone applied for a DTV in Kota Bharu, Malaysia lately? How long did it take for you? I have been here waiting for 3.5 weeks. For the past 1.5 weeks the application has been in "Pending approval" status. Just wondering if that is the usual experience with visa applications in Kota Bharu or is it taking too long?

Hi everyone,

I applied for my DTV visa on April 1st via the official website in Hanoi, Vietnam, and my visa is still pending approval. My flight back is scheduled for Wednesday at the end of the day, and I’m getting worried about the timing because Monday its holidays in both countries 😢

Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Should I contact the embassy immediately to get an update, or is it normal to wait a little longer? I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations you might have.

Thank you very much!
